Overview Of Minecto Xtra Insecticide
Minecto Xtra Insecticide stands out in the market for its dual-action approach, effectively targeting both the larval and adult stages of pests. This dual targeting is essential for preventing pest populations from escalating, thus ensuring the health and productivity of crops. With its advanced formulation, Minecto Xtra not only protects existing crops but also contributes to a sustainable farming environment by reducing the frequency of applications.
Active Ingredients
-
Cyantraniliprole:
-
A member of the anthranilic diamide class, Cyantraniliprole is effective in disrupting the insect's muscle function, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Its unique mode of action ensures that pests are unable to develop resistance easily.
-
Lufenuron:
-
This ingredient functions primarily as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, which means it disrupts the normal growth of insects by preventing them from forming a crucial part of their exoskeleton. As a result, pests are unable to mature and reproduce, significantly reducing their population.
